GLENFIDDICH 40 year old 41,7%

Single Malt, Scotland / Speyside 70cl Ref: 15403C

This venerable version is the result of a blend of Glenfiddich distilled in 1961, 1965 and 1966 and aged in American and European oak barrels. Officially-speaking, this is much closer to a 50 year old than the 40 years mentioned on its label. Nevertheless, it has retained the freshness of its 20 year-old self, a characteristic necessary to its longevity

Palate : intense, silky. The attack is characterised by notes of lime blossom honey, toasted walnuts, dates and raisins. Upon airing, dark chocolate and dark fruits (blackberry, blueberry) generously feed into the mid-palate. It lingers on notes of barley in the process of being malted and a hint of peat. The gustatory palette boasts a hearty herbaceous freshness (mint, lime blossom).

Overall : long, complex. Whether heavy-hitting or mellow, spices lead the way here. Ginger, cloves, black pepper, nutmeg and even Espelette pepper all find their place here. Exotic (mango, passion fruit) and autumnal (truffles, mushrooms), it lingers endlessly on. The retronasal-olfaction is heady (lily, honeysuckle) while the empty glass enhances the youthful spirit of this venerable Glenfiddich.
